Council Car Parks

Sign: Paid Parking AreaByron Shire Council has implemented coupon / ticket paid parking areas in the central area of Byron Bay.  Currently Council has four designated paid parking car parks in Byron Bay. 

These car parks are

  • Main Beach Car Park (95 parking spaces  / inc 5 Mobility spaces)
  • Lawson St North Car Park (135 parking spaces / inc 3 Mobility spaces)
  • Lawson St South Car Park  (74 parking spaces / inc 1 Mobility space)
  • Clarkes Beach Car Park (90 parking spaces  / inc 2 Mobility spaces)

The current tariff for parking is $2.00 per hour

Maximum 4 Hour Time Limit

The car parks operate between the hours of 9am to 6pm, seven days a week including Public Holidays.

The designated paid parking car parks are clearly signposted.  Signage displaying the words “Coupon / Ticket” indicates the requirement to display either a valid machine purchased ticket or valid Council issued resident parking coupon.

Pay and Display ticket machines are available in all car parks for the purchase of parking tickets.  Machine purchased tickets must be displayed on the vehicle’s front dashboard in clear and unobstructed sight from the outside of the vehicle.

Motorists must ensure they read signposted directions when parking their vehicle.  Residents who display a Council issue parking coupon must ensure that when parking their vehicle that their coupon is valid.

If the coupon has expired then residents are required to pay until such time as a valid coupon is affixed to the vehicle as required.
